Return to Real Life

Could we get 100+ people to leave their phones behind and exist in the present moment for three consecutive hours? We created Return to Real Life, a phone-free in person experience, to find out.

This episode is inspired by Jonathan Haidt’s new book, The Anxious Generation, which touches on the mental health crises of adolescents that began in the early 2010s. He believes, and so do we, that our phones have a major role to play in society’s declining mental health, and Return to Real Life is a series not focused on vilifying phones, but rather acknowledging that there are better things we could be doing with our time, and all the great things that can come from community gatherings without distractions.

The Journey of Coming Out as An Adult, Overcoming Emotional Trauma & Building A Supportive Community

Coming out as an adult is difficult enough, but in the midst of processing emotional trauma, relocating, and going to school full time, that’s enough to overwhelm anyone. We talk with one of our very best friends, Meghan, about her newfound insights as a lesbian, coming out as a 26 year old, how she cultivated self love after coming to terms with her trauma, and how that brought her to the love of her life, Serena. Serena provides heart-on-her-sleeve inspiration for those growing up in a household of people who may not agree or understand your sexuality, and talks about how she knew Meghan was the one for her.
